This is interesting.I Havent picked this up before. Where did you find this?

On Ancestry. I searched for
Rob* Tind* 1852+/-2 born Newcastle
and got one results for each census 61,71,81,91.

Robert is 29 in 1881, and 37 in 1891 so it is possible he lopped a couple of years off each time.

I'm on FMP. It has found nothing for 1871.Could you possibly tell me Who else is in the household?

What's the address, if the name is transcribed in correctly on FMP, try a search using the road name! Also I've come across members of my family being in one county on ancestry, and another on FMP for exactly the same census record!

I don't have the road name or anything else. The only info i have is what was posted earlier:

Lamesley, Durham

I've reported the transcription error! Ancestry was wrong too - they'd got his place of birth as Newcastle under Lyme, it's clearly "On Tyne"!!!!

2 very different places, these bad transcriptions must lead some people up the wrong path

Linell.

Linell.

I can almost understand misreading Tyne and getting Lyme, but there's no doubt that it's "On" and not "Under", makes you wonder about the people who've done the transcripts!!!!

I had to write to Ancestry a few weeks ago and tell them about their transcription Londonderry in Warley. The whole street had been transcribed that they had all been born in Londonderry, Ireland - no mention of Ireland anywhere.

I always try and report transcriptions errors when I come across them. I like Ancestry's way of giving them as an alternative, don't know what FMP do - I find it much more difficult to find people if there are transcription errors on FMP, especially if you don't know the address.

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?
